Inspecting the brake fluid level
Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter the brake
system, possibly causing the brakes to become in-
effective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is above
the minimum level mark and replenish when nec-
essary. A low brake fluid level may indicate worn
brake pads and/or brake system leakage. If the
brake fluid level is low, be sure to check the brake
pads for wear and the brake system for leakage.
The rear brake fluid master cylinder reservoir is lo-
cated under panel C. (See pages 8-21–8-25 for
panel removal and installation procedures.)
Observe these precautions:
G
When checking the fluid level, make sure the
top of the master cylinder reservoirs are level.
G
Use only the designated quality brake fluid.
Otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor brake performance.
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
